Mac mini and the Environment
- See the Mac mini Product Environmental Report (PDF)
- Progress toward Apple 2030
- Apple 2030 is our goal to be carbon neutral across our value chain. We design our products to be less carbon intensive by prioritizing the use of recycled and renewable content and low-carbon materials while focusing on the energy efficiency of our software and hardware.
- Materials
- Mac mini is made with 50% recycled content, including
- 100% recycled aluminum in the enclosure and thermal module stage
- 100% recycled copper in multiple thermal module components
- 100% recycled copper plating in all Apple-designed printed circuit boards
- 100% recycled gold plating and tin solder in all Apple-designed printed circuit boards
Show all (18)
- 80% recycled steel in multiple components including the logo and fan pillow
- Packaging
- 100% fiber‑based packaging
- Energy
- 100% of manufacturing electricity for Mac mini is sourced from renewable electricity
- 100% of expected customer use electricity matched with low‑carbon electricity
- ENERGY STAR® certified
- Smarter chemistry
- All of the materials used in Apple products, accessories, and packaging are covered by the requirements of our Regulated Substances Specification, which was one of the first in industry to restrict the use of key substances of concern. See the latest Environmental Progress Report to understand Apple’s recent efforts in phasing out these chemistries.

- L W A,m is the mean A-weighted sound power level, rounded to the nearest 0.1 B.
- L p A,m is the mean A-weighted sound pressure level measured at operator position (rounded to the nearest 1 dB).
- 1 B (bel) = 10 dB (decibel).
- K v is the statistical adder for computing upper-limit of A-weighted sound power level.
- The quantity, L W A,c (formerly called L W Ad) may be computed from the sum of L W A,m and K v .
